Hi, and Happy New Year to all!
I have a Ferroli Optimax HE PLUS 38C combi boiler which loses pressure. I checked the schrader valve on the expansion vessel and water spurts out.
As far as I understand I can fit a tee piece to the 22mm CH return pipe, connect an external pressure vessel via the tee piece and this should keep the water at the correct pressure.
I have 8 radiators, an average size house with an extension that doubles the length so I think a 12 ltr vessel like this one should do the trick http://www.screwfix.com/p/expansion-vessel-12ltr/46517.
Is this correct thinking and is the screwfix vessel the best for the job?
Many thanks.
Tony
